I'm So Ready!


I imagine you are like me and so excited for Spring to come!
It was a beautiful day here today.  Lots of bright sunshine and 74 degrees!
So, I went searching.  Looking for FLOWERS!


The daffodils are pushing up through the fall leaves...



Feeling the warmth of this beautiful day...


Soaking up the sunshine...


Reaching for the sky...

 Ready to display their beauty...


 Hoping to soon look like this...


Come, Spring, come!



What's blooming in your neck of the woods?

    Blogging definitely makes us more observant of our world than I used to be.

    Cindy ~ how wonderful for you that flowers are starting to peek their little heads out of a winter slumber ~ Here in Ontario ~ not just yet, but I have faith ~ there is a season for all things :-) I just can't wait!

    Cindy, this is beautiful!!! I prefer daffodils over roses any day. You have made my day dropping by here tonight. Thank you for preparing & sharing this. Have a great weekend. I'll be out looking for daffodils, my husband said he saw some barely peeking there little green through the ground. (He usually brings me a bouquet home from work several times while they are blooming.) A little early here.

    Morning Cindy,
    What a pretty and springy post. Think we are all ready, I sort of dislike this in between phase.
    I really love all the seasons, but the waiting for spring is the hardest especially when it is so warm out, we were 80 yesterday and will be for a few more days then go back in the 70's, but I have decorated early for spring and then it turns cold again and I wish I had waited cause the house seems colder with light colors.
    Guess it is a visual thing!!
    We do have a few white lantana blooming and some knock out roses blooming but that's about the size of it.
    Have a great weekend,
    Blessings galore, Nellie

    Oh dear, you may not even want to hear what's blooming here. This is the desert, after all, & most things are still blooming or re-blooming from last fall. There is still ornamental kale & cabbage, mums that are budding for the second time, petunias , alysium, & citrus trees in full budding-mode but still heavily laden with fruit. Sorry, I warned you! You can gloat during the summer when the only thing blooming here are Vincas!

    Hi Cindy, Lemons! That is what is blooming here in the desert! So many!!!

    Your pictures are beautiful. It reminds me of the saying, "Don't try to force anything. Let life be a deep let-go. See God opening millions of flowers every day without forcing the buds."
    by Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.

    Thank you so much for your kind comment on "Rose Petals from Heaven" yesterday. It really meant a lot to Cindy.

    *hugs*

    I love your photos to these beautiful flowers...with the leaves in the background! I think that makes the flowers really pop off the page! We have azaleas, camelias and clover is popping up all over! ♥

    Your pictures are beautiful. Spring is indeed a gorgeous time of year. I just wish that summer was over here in Australia and some cool autumn breezes would start heading my way!

    Best wishes,

    Nothing much happening in the garden here. But I worked in it all day. I love the daffodils, with their little "skirts" that look so feminine.

    An Easter cactus is blooming inside. We have so much snow that it'll be weeks before I see what you are seeing in your corner. You must be so excited to know that soon the daffodils will be blooming.

    Our several days of spring like weather have come to an end in Illinois. We woke to thunderstorms and temperatures starting to drop back into the 20's. Ugh. How lucky you are to have flowers on the way, your photos are lovely.
